B) Complete the handout received in class for practicing with pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs.

C) Remembering that an objective complement is a noun or adjective that follows and relates to a direct object in a similar fashion that a predicate adjective or a predicate noun relates to a subject, identify the underlined words in the sentences below as (DO) for direct objects, (IO) for indirect objects, or (OC) for objective complements.

1) We must consider our abilities gifts from God.

2) He has given us these gifts for His glory.

3) He can make our lives fruitful in His service.

Root Words, Pronoun Review, and Practice

Study your root words.  We are getting very close to completing the whole book of words, so keep studying each day to master them all!

Review ALL the different types of pronouns and read about their usage, being able to recognize and label them for their part of speech.  Thoughtfully read and review pages 44, 47, 49, and 51 in your text.

In the sentences below, name the part of speech for each word in the sentence.  Work carefully, asking yourself the proper questions to correctly determine the part of speech for each word (not its sentence position).

6) When we compared our pictures, most of us thought that his had the best shading.

7) In the morning, Father will post the work to do for the day.

8) The broken fence post should be replaced before the cows push through the fence and get out.

Grammar Practice

A) Study all roots and meanings, especially the newer ones.

B) Name the part of speech for each word.  Treat verbals (infinitives, participles, and gerunds) as the part of speech which they are performing.

                                  N.      V.         N.     ADJ.     N.
Here is an example: (1) God promises to bless the faithful.    ("To bless" is an infinitive direct object, therefore it is a noun.  "Faithful" is the object of "to bless", therefore it is a noun also.)

2) Lo, His presence continually surrounds us, although we do not see Him with our physical eyes.

3) To deceive another person is never right.

4) The priest and the Levite ignored the injured man; however, the Samaritan showed a neighborly attitude to

him.

5) The children's efforts to surprise their parents were well rewarded.

C) Review the information all about prepositions again on pages 17-18 in your text.  Then, review conjunctive adverbs on page 38. In the sentences below, label each underlined word as an adverb (adv.) or a preposition (prep.).

1) The cool spring water flowed over my feet and on down the valley.

4) After Charles climbed down from the tractor, we walked along the field lane looking for walnuts.

5) A large buck that had been hiding behind a stone wall jumped up and dashed away.


D) In the following sentences, underline each prepositional phrase and label whether it is an adjective (ADJ.), adverb (ADV.) or a noun (N.)

1) "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God."

2) "And be not conformed  to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind."

3) "Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief."

4) Vultures are birds of prey with slightly hooked bills.

5) Their heads are not feathered like those of other birds.

E) Diagram the following sentence.  It has several prepositional phrases, one of which has compound objects.  You may want to look back in your class notes to review the prepositional phrase diagramming structure.

The influences of your present choices and habits will linger with you throughout the rest of your life.

Study and Practice

A) Study Root Words and meanings, especially for words 73-84 for your next test.

B) Complete the "Problems with Prepositions" Quiz 2 on worksheet page 87 received in class Friday.

C) Parts of Speech Practice: Label each word in the sentence below to indicate its part of speech.

1) Kindly smiles often bring joy.

2) God's Word is revealed truth.

3) Those who truly believe God will also obey Him.

D) Find all the prepositional phrases in the sentences below underlining them, and then label the type of    prepositional phrase it is, whether an ADJ., ADV, or Noun. (Hint: only 1 prep. phrase below is serving in the position of a noun; most of them are either adverbial or adjectival.)  You may review common prepositions on pages 17-18 in your text, and you should take note of the examples of "compound prepositions" on page 18 - prepositions that consist of more than 1 word.

1) The words of the Master were attractive to many people because of their graciousness.

2) In spite of the intense hatred of the Jewish leaders, people from many places flocked to hear Him.

3) During His ministry Jesus often taught in parables.

4) No man like Jesus has had ever lived on the earth.

1) Whether your life will be useful in God's kingdom depends largely upon your own choices.
2) Our actions and words reveal what is in our hearts.
3) We must obey whomever God places in authority over us.
4) Our words should show gratitude for whatever God brings to us in life.
5) The budding rod clearly showed which man God had chosen as high priest.
6) Faithful Caleb said, "Give me this mountain."

__________________________________________________________

D) Study your root words, meanings, and derivatives.

E) Now, review the differences between infinitives being used as a noun, gerunds, and noun clauses.  Would you be able to identify each of these?  Write a sentence that contains an example of each of them, for a total of 3 sentences.

Now...Noun Clauses

Before reviewing the noun clause, read the sentence pairs below and choose whether sentence A or B is correct.  Simply circle the correct choice or write "A" or "B" on your paper.

I.   A) We were surprised at his speaking out so forcefully.
     B) We were surprised at him speaking out so forcefully.

II.  A) John helping us made a big difference.
     B) John's helping us made a big difference.

III. A) I surely appreciate Laura finding my papers.
      B) I surely appreciate Laura's finding my papers.
________________________________________________
You may want to review noun clauses in your text beginning on page 89.  Then do the following:

If the underlined clause is a noun clause, identify its function by writing "subject," "direct object," "predicate nominative," or "object of a preposition."

1) Did you ask whether the new books have arrived?
2) Father did not know the man who warned us about the bridge.

________________________________________________
Of course, continue studying your root words!

More Noun Verbal Practice

For the following sentences, you may either write down the verbal or print the sentences and circle the verbals within them.  Then, write whether the verbal is being used as a subject (S), a direct object (DO), a predicate nominative (PN), or the object of a preposition (OP).

1) Drying wildflowers can be an interesting project.
2) Last summer our family decided to start a collection of dried wildflowers.

5) One of my regular jobs is keeping the woodbox full.
6) Raising good watermelons in our area requires watering them regularly.

Punctuation Practice with Colons

Each of the sentences below contains an error in colon usage.  Write the word just before the error occurs, and either add or omit what is necessary.

1) The Bible states man's basic problem, he has a sinful nature.

2) The most important tools will be: an ax, a shovel, and a pick.

3) In good books you keep coming across the same ideas, truth, honor, courage, wisdom, faith, and moral responsibility.

Just For Fun!  (A Bonus!)

In the second sentence of my instructions for the section immediately above here, can you recognize any noun clauses?

Identifying Noun Verbals

For the following sentences which include verbals, tell whether each italicized verbal is a gerund, a gerund phrase, an infinitive, or an infinitive phrase.

1) Disobeying always brings sad consequences.
2) God's command to Moses was to speak to the rock.
3) Moses dishonored God by speaking angrily to the Israelites.
4) Striking the rock was also direct disobedience to God's command.

6) Moses intensely desired to go, but his punishment was not changed.
7) Dad praised God for dealing graciously with us.
8) The Christian's purpose in life is sharing the Gospel with others.

Now go back to each sentence and identify the noun position of each verbal or verbal phrase.  Yes, all of them are functioning as nouns!  Which position is each one playing in the sentence?  Remember to notice the use of linking verbs; remember the positions which follow linking verbs.

If you need help from your text with gerunds and infinitives, see pages 53-57.

Use your notes from class to review diagramming of gerunds and infinitives and diagram sentences 1 - 4.

Review your root words and derivatives, especially the newest ones!

Study and Write

1) Continue studying all root words and meanings with their derivatives and their definitions.

2) Review all types of phrases: infinitives, gerunds, past participles, and present participles.  These are all found on pages 53 through 72 in your text.

3) Write a cause and effect paragraph composed of at least 7 sentences.  This type of paragraph gives reasons why some event has happened or perhaps why it will happen in the future.  The paragraph may be imaginary or real in content.

Fulfill these basic requirements:

~ Immediate causes only should be the focus since you are only writing a paragraph.
~ Double space your writing or typing.
~ Use at least 3 different types of sentences in the paragraph: simple, compound, complex, and compound complex.
~ Use at least 2 derivative words in your use of vocabulary.

Possible Topics:  Why a Team Won or Didn't Win a Championship/ Why Sam Got a Bad Grade on a Test/ Why Being Obedient to Authority is Proper/ Why Collecting ________ Is Fun (you get to fill in the blank)/ Why the Accident on the Interstate Happened, or Why Someone's Birthday Party Was a Success.

Intense Study

Study all root words with their meanings and learn at least one derivative for each with its definition.  You should be able to quickly give the information when you see the original root word.

Root Study and Writing

Study your root words and derivatives very well each day.


Writing Practice:

Use prepositional phrases, appositive phrases, and participial phrases to combine the following sentences to make new sentences in the way that seems best to you.  Take the time to review each of the above named phrases before you begin using your text book.  (Appositive phrases are appositives that simply contain more than one word - such as:  Charles Dickens, a British novelist, was born in 1812.)

1)  You will need the address I gave you.  You'll need it for your application.

2)  The cookies are ready to bake.  They are on the cookie sheet.

All about Adjectives

In a recent grammar review, we focused upon adjective clauses.  Do you remember?  Look back over pages 81-83 in your text.  Review any errors you made during practice on work pages 85-88.

Now lets review adjective phrases: present participles, past participles, and some infinitives all act as adjectives.

Present Participles ~ see pages 61-66.
Past Participles ~ see pages 67-72.
Infinitives ~ see pages 53-56.

Are you able to recognize each of the above reviewed adjective constructions?  You should be able to do that, so study all these pages carefully to be very familiar with these forms of grammar found in sentences.

Your attention to your studying these grammatical forms will be quizzed in class after spring break.

There are no written assignments at this time.
